Machines Vs. Humans: The Impact of A.I. on Society
It's been over 200 years since the industrial revolution, and we could be in the midst of a cybernetics revolution as machines and humans become more and more interwoven. Mazin Gilbert, VP of AT&T Labs, was with us to discuss whether the Cybernetics Revolution will be more disruptive than the Industrial Revolution.

Gilbert explained the ways data and automation are changing the way we work and how there's a re-teaching of skills in the workforce underway.
